WA Liberal leaders plan big for MP-elect

The member-elect for the blue-ribbon WA seat of Cottesloe has confirmed senior Liberals want him to take on an economic development role amid speculation he'll join the front bench before too long.

"I know that the leadership team have been discussing that and I'm really happy to do whatever they want me to do," David Honey, a 59-year-old father-of-six and Alcoa manager, told 6PR radio on Monday.

Dr Honey continues the party's unbroken hold on the conservative seat, securing just over 70 per cent of the two candidate preferred vote by the time counting finished on Saturday.
